ive barely heard the allman brothers mentioned before, where do i start if i want to check out some guitar work?

looks like a good, rather unusual list, but it has gilmour all the way down at 82, whatashame.

and are there any other recommendations off that list? my fav. guitar tunes are p.funk's maggot brain, the dead's dark star, floyd's shine on and comfortably numb, maiden's afraid to shoot strangers and hallowed be thy name, and barret's baby lemonade.ooh, and actually anything by jay j, if anyone here is into deephouse.

I think that list is pretty decent.I think they suceeded in meshing technical profiency with "style" and inventiveness pretty well,they just got the order all wrong.

I'm glad they got Eddy Hazel from Funkadelic.IMHO is underrated as hell. I'm also glad they got Thurston Moore from Sonic Youth.

Kurt Cobain,Jack White,and Johnny Remone should have been lower and Frank Zappa,David Gilmour,and Robert Fripp should have been higher.They totally left out Curt from the Meatpuppets and Joe Satriani.

If you want to hear some of the most incredible guitar harmonies ever recorded,listen to In Memory Of Elibeth Reed.

BTW,I think my favorite solo of all time is George Harrison's on Taxman.That shit makes me cream my pants.

Does anyone else find it hilarous that magazines come up with "greatest of ALL TIME" and then 2 weeks later while make another list, same topic, different order/people and proclaim THAT "OF ALL TIME". What the hell is up with "OF ALL TIME"? Did they travel in the future and listen to every album that ever came out?

I love Nirvana, and I think the White Stripes are pretty good, but there is no way those bands are known for their guitar work.

I think Mike McCready from Pearl Jam is an under-rated guitarist. He's not the most inovative guitarist, but his live work is just incrediable. Listen to the solo on the version of Black on "Live On Two Legs", or when Pearl Jam covered "Little Wing". Amazing stuff.

--------------------The very nature of experience is ineffable; it transcends cognitive thought and intellectualized analysis. To be without experience is to be without an emotional knowledge of what the experience translates into. The desire for the understanding of what life is made of is the motivation that drives us all. Without it, in fear of the experiences what life can hold is among the greatest contradictions; to live in fear of death while not being alive.

Fuck Rolling Stone, that list is shit. John McLaughlin 49, Steve Howe 69, David Gilmour 82, and no Alex Lifeson anywhere. Thats why I haven't bought their magazine in 10 years, because it's nothing but garbage. The day they go out of business I'm throwing a party.

I think Ben Lacy belongs on that list, but few have heard his work. You can check out some of his music at http://www.benlacy.com but there are only a few short clips, not quite like seeing him live.
